River Room

River Room is a multimedia installation remapping the local flora and fauna of Prague. If everything is moving, where is here?

River Room unfolds in a multi-media landscape. The performance lasts an hour during which, the audience is invited to birdwatch, space out, focus on details, and test the spatial awareness of the nonhuman entities present (or absent.) River Room is an impossible game to map an environment that is in motion, a fragment of the world in its becoming. This map is still but not static: it is quivering, flowing, spinning. If everything is moving, where is here?

The performance takes place in a room in Prague, and Prague is conjured into this one room. The local flora and fauna, the cobblestones and the river, and you watching them are all woven together into a sequence of slow images that flow like a river. Under the surface, the fragments of the room are arranging and rearranging themselves into stories. Anything can be a bird if you are not careful.
